Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not evaluated Matteuccia Struthiopteris Bud Powder. Information concerning its safety for topical cosmetic application, including regulatory status from SCCS or FDA, is currently lacking. While ingestion of undercooked fiddleheads is known to cause gastrointestinal distress, these effects are not directly translatable to topical use. General cautions exist for ferns potentially containing carcinogens or thiaminase, suggesting a cautious approach for cosmetic application in the absence of specific safety data.
